There are others with more worse and rougher years. Hurrican victims are the ones who really are going through tragedy. Your thoughts should be with those whose lives are truly destroyed and lose all their homes and loved one, not with a mega millionaire who has the power and money to do as she pleases and all her health too. Maybe Shania should stop playing the victim and particpate in helping those hurrican victims and actually do a concert for them which they will need after this huge hurrican hits.
well,it wasn't shania who made this video,ET canada did it. and she did help the hurricane victims in Florida,she will do it again if it's needed.
Any celeb can write a check. It is those who actually put their time and money into that should be aknowledged. Shania never even made an appearance at Katrina or 911 or live8. There is always an excuse with her.
That's a bit harsh. The reason why Shania didn't take part in those events is because of the fact she didn't have any new material to go out and perform and as she's said, if it's not directly linked to her music, she prefers to stay out of the spotlight and what's wrong with wanting a normal life for a while. She should be acknowledged for the excellent work she's doing with Second Harvest and Breakfast for Learning, she has also supported events such as the Swiss Red Cross Gala.

no you are wrong,she went down there with Oprah and what about all these Augusts she spend in Canada preparing the program for food in schools. she pays every month the paycheck for the teacher there to teach kids many vital things. and of course she pays for the everyday food,that is not something that every celeb does.

Oh please, is that the excuse, because she had no material to promote lol!!! Who cares, you go because you want to support and make the people suffering feel better. The exuses some people come up with are laughable. She has rarely given her time to any charity and is rarely seen. These socalled charities you talk about are very small compared to what lots celebs do. Don't tell me she is that charitable with her time because she isn't. And only making appearances because you want to sell or promote something is selfish.

lmao!!! She didn't go anywhere with Oprah. Where do you get your info. Yes, every celeb gives money to charities is many other ways that Shania and they also give way more of their time. I don't want to start an arugment but Shania is not known as a big giver.Her fans blow everything she has done out of context. 99% of celebs do way more and give way more of their time.
There's a lot of charity work she's involved with that she prefers to do discretely, she doesn't feel the urgency to broadcast it like some celebs.
you don't have to broadcast anything but giving some of your time to people who need a boost is what tons of celebs do and they don't need to have new music or promote something to do it. They do it because it is the right thing to do.

are you kidding me?? i saw it on the oprah show with my own eyes,she was showing a video about her work for the katrina victims and she was talking about how some of her celeb friends went with her,and in that video i saw shania along with Julia Roberts Angelina Jolie and some other celebs. sorry if you missed it but i did watched it here on a Greek channel that broadcasts the Oprah show. i never talk garbage ,i have to be sure before i speak.

lmao!!! You know I like you but you are 100% wrong. That wasn't Shania. Faith Hill and Tim Mcgraw went on OPrah to talk about Katrina. Shania has not once even mentined Katrina. With all due respect as anyone here, Shania was not on Oprah talking about Katrina. Katrinia was 3 years ago and Shania has been in hiding for the last many years. Her last apprearance was when she and Dolly Parton were on Oprah and that had nothing to do with Katrina. I don't know if you had a dream or what but Shania was not anywhere near Kartrina site at all and she was not envolved.

no,you didn't get my point again. Oprah was in the studio talking about Katrina and they were showing a video from the area without interview from the celebs just footage, and it was shania there wearing a ball cap. excuse me but i think i could recognize her from Faith and definitely from Tim,lol
you can't say i'm crazy or i was dreaming just because you missed this.

No, she didn't appear in any video. You can ask any die hard fan. Shania was not anywhere near any Katrina site and she was not envolved at all. I saw that video on Oprah and there were tons of celebs including Tim and Faith Mcgraw who both had baseball caps on. Shania was not there and she was not envolved and she was not in any video related to katrina. I thought you were a Shania fan, every Shania fan knows she was not there and had nothing to do with it. You need to go and check your info again. Katrina was in 2005. Shania has been nowhere since 2005 except to promote her perfume.
And believe me if Shania was in any video or had anything to do with Katrina then it would be all over the shaniaforums and sites.Not to mention Tommy woud of been the first to have proof or video of it. Simply put, Shania was not there and there is no video of her.

ok,don't believe me but i saw her with my own eyes and my sight it's pretty good. as for her involvement,what about the plaque she received from the State of Florida for her help??
it's in the Centre,if you go there you'll see it yourelf. i wish i could take a pic when i go but they don't allow cameras inside.
it's getting late here so i won't be able to continue this arguement,i know what i saw.

So that means that you should only do these charity concerts when you have new material to promote? I would like to think that helping the less well off and needy would come first. There again you maybe right, and Shania didn't have anything to plug when these concerts come up. I always hoped she was a better and nicer person than that.
well personally i'm covered by the fact the she feeds kids in some Canadian school EVERY DAY. she is responsible for their teacher's paycheck every month and for the food of course. that is more than enough for me. and there is that 'shelter' she is planning to make,she talked about it in 'Readers Digest' magazine interview. i don't know when it's going to be ready but i think it won't be too long tiil then since that interview is from '05.

Maybe I was a little harsh in my last post Christina. I respect that she does alot of charity stuff behind the scenes without blowing her own trumpet. I just remember been a little dissappointed when she didn't appear at the Live 8 gig in Hyde Park. She could have performed her old material as many other artists did that day. I'm sure she was asked to be involved.

Seriously, I like you but I have no idea where you get your info or what you are talking about. Shania was nowhere near any Katrina site and there is no vidoe or photos of her. Just ask Tommy or any other die hard fan. LIke I said I saw that video too and Shania was not in it. The facts are that Shania does not attend these things or even particate in the concerts to raise money for these victims, that is her choice.We as Shania fans like to use anything to defend her but we should make up stories like she was somewhere when she wasn't. Shania was not envolved in any Kartrina video or at any Katrina site, those are the facts, end of story. But it would be nice to see her show up once in 10 years to one charity event in the United States where she made most of her money.Heck, we have waited for her over 10 years to even show up for fan fair. We have to admit Shania has an excuse for everything and none of the excuses are that good if you keep on using them.
i can't explain that either, but these kinds of events are asking from the people to give money not the artist,shania gives money anyway and she doesn't have to go in some charity event.
i don't think that the people from Wellfare are lying when they talk about shania's support.
anyway,there are some celebs that don't give a dollar and still they have their fan base,i'm not going to disrespect shania just because she didn't performed at the Live8.
and i'm not looking for a Perfect God singer,i can love her with her flaws
btw my posting wasn't reffering to you,it was just in general.

kevy i swear i'm not making anything up. i'm not one of those obsessed fans that would lie,i did saw her,it was in the same week when they aired a video with Bon Jovi and all the houses he helped to be built there in the area.
it wasn't a video with celebs talking,they were just showing some footage and Oprah was talking over it,and once she referred to her friends they did show shania Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie.

Yes a lot of these events are just self promotion and an ego fest. I much prefer the way Shania handles it. yes the plaque from FL is a good indicator of her discrete style. There was no reason at all for her to be brought up for trial in this thread in regards to her charity work, it goes without saying how much she is involved yet people just want to see all the glints and glamor behind the stars involved. No sense in arguing this at all, best ignored.

Okay stop this already, I never said you were making it up but you are 100% mistaken and Shania was not in any video regarding Katrina. I know this as a fact, I saw the show and video where Oprah talked about it and Shania is not on the video or mentioned at all. Like I said, do you think Tommy and I are every other fan would at least mentioned it if Shania was seen in that video. You can also look at the vido on Oprah arhives and other places and Shania is not anywhere on any video in Katrina. She was in Switzerland like she was most of the time. so I am not saying you are making it up, what I am saying is that you are 100% mistaken. Lets just drop this and move on.

I disagree, most of the celebs who do it are concerned and want to help out. I think those who give their time to concert events supporting victims do it because they care. Saying they don't care is just an excuse Shania fans use because Shania never shows up at these charity concerts.
i have to agree with 2nd ammendment, for a lot of the stars there is a lot of self promotion along with it
You have no idea what is in the minds of those who want to help out. to say that it is self promotion is absurd. there are tons of stars who do it because they want to help and it is the right thing to do. If Shania actually particiated and did charity concerts for any of these tragic events then all the fans would be praising her and saying how much she cares. But because she doesn't show up or do any of these things, fans start bashing those who actually want to help and actually are concerned. Shame on you!!!
i have to agree with 2nd ammendment, for a lot of the stars there is a lot of self promotion along with it
Indeed, and many people who don't follow Shania closely don't realize how much she can actual give and in what manner she spends time on this. Look at her role at the Swiss Red Cross the last two years. Well we already know how many times we've seen threads started by Shania fans who think she deserves to be at least nominated for a Humanitarian Award, but that's okay, she doesn't look for a pat on the back and being told "job well done, you care so much" like many of the other stars seek. If Shania did more spotlight events I wouldn't have a problem with that at all, but to imply she's not doing enough by her discrete nature is way out of line.

And you have no right to bash those that want to give their time and do charity concerts because it helps those in need. Shania doesn't go out of her way to use her time because she has never given her time that much. And doing charity events so people know also brings attention to that charity and helps it out. So those who do charity events and are seen in public helping out are the ones actually helping the charities more because average people see celebs helping out and the want to help out also. You would be the first one praising Shania if she even attended on of these evensts to help out those in need. But you have no right to bash those giving their time in good faith.
There is an element of self promotion in these charity events. To say anything else is absurd. Sure they are doing it for charity but they are also doing it for themselves

You are the one claiming that it is self promotion and for you to say you know that a certain person is doing so for self promotion is beyond absurd. Are you telling me that Elton John who does tons of charity events is doing it for self promotion? lol!!! He doesn't need the promotion and he does it because he cares and wants to help out.
You would be the first one praising Shania if she even showed up at a charity event or done a charity concert but she hasn't done so for a decade because she has all she needs from the fans and doesn't need the hassle of taking her time to help others.
When she was still gaining her fanbase she did a charity concert for Columbine kids who were killed at their school. She did a concert for them and gave them all cd players. That was a decade ago when she still needed the fans. ARe you telling me that Shania did that for self promotion? Or did she care and wanted to help out.
Don't go around claiming these events are for self promotion when the vast majority of people do it because they care and don't need self promotion.
Hello Kevin, Shania made no announcement what she was going to do with the Columbine kids, she just got up and left. That's a REAL move not a preplanned event. Shania as always made no big stink about it, but word travels obviously of some of the discrete no media things she does. The hospital didn't even know she was coming.
And once gain you are doing the same thing you criticize others for doing and putting out their opinion.

Oh please, nobody has to make an announcement, when a big celeb does an event like that it gets out and everyone knows that. You don't have to make a stink about it but go out there and just do it. Shania has done no charity events in the United States in over a decade. Don't worry what others think, just go out and help like so many other celebs. Shania is not better than anyone else who does charity. The only difference is Shania refuses to put her time in and do these events.

Where do you get your facts from?
Her school hunger campaigns are not just for Canada they are active all over the world including the good old USA.
She doesn't have to be a visible cheerleader to get her charity work done.
